Psalm 144 (WEBP)

[1] Blessed be Yahweh, my rock, who trains my hands to war, and my fingers to battle—
[2] my loving kindness, my fortress, my high tower, my deliverer, my shield, and he in whom I take refuge, who subdues my people under me.
[3] Yahweh, what is man, that you care for him? Or the son of man, that you think of him?
[4] Man is like a breath. His days are like a shadow that passes away.
[5] Part your heavens, Yahweh, and come down. Touch the mountains, and they will smoke.
[6] Throw out lightning, and scatter them. Send out your arrows, and rout them.
[7] Stretch out your hand from above, rescue me, and deliver me out of great waters, out of the hands of foreigners,
[8] whose mouths speak deceit, whose right hand is a right hand of falsehood.
[9] I will sing a new song to you, God. On a ten-stringed lyre, I will sing praises to you.
[10] You are he who gives salvation to kings, who rescues David, his servant, from the deadly sword.
[11] Rescue me, and deliver me out of the hands of foreigners, whose mouths speak deceit, whose right hand is a right hand of falsehood.
[12] Then our sons will be like well-nurtured plants, our daughters like pillars carved to adorn a palace.
[13] Our barns are full, filled with all kinds of provision. Our sheep produce thousands and ten thousands in our fields.
[14] Our oxen will pull heavy loads. There is no breaking in, and no going away, and no outcry in our streets.
[15] Happy are the people who are in such a situation. Happy are the people whose God is Yahweh.

Psalm 144 (KJVS)

[1] Blessed () [be] the Lord my strength, which teacheth () my hands to war, [and] my fingers to fight:
[2] My goodness, and my fortress; my high tower, and my deliverer; () my shield, and [he] in whom I trust; () who subdueth () my people under me.
[3] Lord, what [is] man, that thou takest knowledge () of him! [or] the son of man, that thou makest account () of him!
[4] Man is like () to vanity: his days [are] as a shadow that passeth away. ()
[5] Bow () thy heavens, O Lord, and come down: () touch () the mountains, and they shall smoke. ()
[6] Cast forth () lightning, and scatter () them: shoot out () thine arrows, and destroy () them.
[7] Send () thine hand from above; rid () me, and deliver () me out of great waters, from the hand of strange children;
[8] Whose mouth speaketh () vanity, and their right hand [is] a right hand of falsehood.
[9] I will sing () a new song unto thee, O God: upon a psaltery [and] an instrument of ten strings will I sing praises () unto thee.
[10] [It is he] that giveth () salvation unto kings: who delivereth () David his servant from the hurtful sword.
[11] Rid () me, and deliver () me from the hand of strange children, whose mouth speaketh () vanity, and their right hand [is] a right hand of falsehood:
[12] That our sons [may be] as plants grown up () in their youth; [that] our daughters [may be] as corner stones, polished () [after] the similitude of a palace:
[13] [That] our garners [may be] full, affording () all manner of store: [that] our sheep may bring forth thousands () and ten thousands () in our streets:
[14] [That] our oxen [may be] strong to labour; () [that there be] no breaking in, nor going out; () that [there be] no complaining in our streets.
[15] Happy [is that] people, that is in such a case: [yea], happy [is that] people, whose God [is] the Lord.

[1] [143:1] τω δαυιδ προς τον γολιαδ ευλογητος κυριος ο θεος μου ο διδασκων τας χειρας μου εις παραταξιν τους δακτυλους μου εις πολεμον
[2] [143:2] ελεος μου και καταφυγη μου αντιλημπτωρ μου και ρυστης μου υπερασπιστης μου και επ αυτω ηλπισα ο υποτασσων τον λαον μου υπ εμε
[3] [143:3] κυριε τι εστιν ανθρωπος οτι εγνωσθης αυτω η υιος ανθρωπου οτι λογιζη αυτον
[4] [143:4] ανθρωπος ματαιοτητι ωμοιωθη αι ημεραι αυτου ωσει σκια παραγουσιν
[5] [143:5] κυριε κλινον ουρανους σου και καταβηθι αψαι των ορεων και καπνισθησονται
[6] [143:6] αστραψον αστραπην και σκορπιεις αυτους εξαποστειλον τα βελη σου και συνταραξεις αυτους
[7] [143:7] εξαποστειλον την χειρα σου εξ υψους εξελου με και ρυσαι με εξ υδατων πολλων εκ χειρος υιων αλλοτριων
[8] [143:8] ων το στομα ελαλησεν ματαιοτητα και η δεξια αυτων δεξια αδικιας
